Does your wife do this too?
Trivia no Izumi (Fount/Spring of Trivia) outdid itself tonight, with a survey to find out when people who had been married for three years first heard their wife pass gas! They interviewed 1000 Japanese husbands by means of an internet poll, and as you can see in the pie chart on the right, almost half the wives (43%) couldn’t keep it in for more than a year. 29% first let rip in the second year, 16% avoided a bottom burp until their third year, and 12% of husbands have been spared their wives’ anal emissions.
For good measure, this segment of the show also had face-to-face interviews with some of the husbands describing the how and where of their wives’ flatulance, accompanied by their wedding photos, leaving their neighbours in no doubt who they were talking about!
To finish up this item of trivia, they persuaded one of the wives who had never passed gas in front of her husband to try to do it, so their hidden cameras could capture this moment for posterior-ity…
Oh, and I certainly will not tell you what category my wife falls into!

[…] This article talks about this article, which is about the results of a survey to find out when Japanese husbands heard their wives break wind. What I find most amazing is that 12% of the men never heard their wives fart. I applaud those women. That’s a tough thing to do.

My husband calls me “fartyboo” when I fart.
Any info on whether they will be surveyed on how long it took for them to hear their wives rip a good beer belch?

There seems to be a far more honest and open opinion when you ask a Japanese these questions than would be the case in our country they answer honestly and without forethought as to the questions posed to them. They live on an island far closer together than we do in our country yet they are able to get along peacefully without killing each other off something must be said for their culture compared to ours, why do you think this is so can you collect some answers to these issues?

I am no statistician, but should it not be more than a hundred people in every age group?

That is an aspect of Japan that I can not understand. I guess I never will understand it either. Personally I thought that when people get married it means that they do not hide anything from each other. Perhaps this is not such a common ideal in Japan?
